University of Tennessee at Chattanooga freshman Kevin Easley was named the Southern Conference Player of the Week today, the first such honor for the Mocs this season.
Easley averaged a double-double in a pair of close wins over Mercer (73-70) and The Citadel (73-71), going for 11 points and 10 rebounds vs. the Bears before getting 22 and 12 against the Bulldogs.
The forward hit a pair of key free throws with 10.1 seconds left to hold off Mercer before hitting a 3-pointer with under a minute to play in the win over The Citadel that put the Mocs up for good, clinching the team's third consecutive home SoCon win.
